Katie Armiger takes Home to high schools

Katie Armiger continues to impress me with her creative road to success. The Houston-bred singer’s wistful new tune, Leaving Home, is being picked up for inclusion in high school graduations across the country.

The list includes Irving High School, West Brook High School in Beaumont and Shoemaker High School in Killeen.

How adorable is that? And how terrific is it that schools are supporting young, homegrown talent instead of choosing overplayed, major-label tunes?
